Wirless Keypad Entry Installation

Proud owner of a 99 XLT. I just purchased the keyless entry add-on package.
(not the one that is wired) Anyways, You are supposed to stick it to where
you want using the double sided super tape it comes with (don't touch your
finger to it...took my a while to get it off!)

I placed it in the desired position, and went to step two. It told me to
Insert key in ignition, Turn the ignition from off to on(not all the way to
start) 8 times and stop on the "ON" position...and to do this all within 10
seconds.

The door locks are supposed to cycle and then I am ready to program the
keypad.

THIS DIDN'T WORK. Not even a door cycle, click or anything. all I had was
my annoying key reminder noise. Has anyone else purchased the add-on keypad
and had the same problems? I don't want to pay the dealer $100 to install
after I bought the "SELF INSTALL" kit for almost $200!

Sounds silly but did you put your seatbelt on? Remember some requires following a particular sequence. Try it again with you being in driver seat with your seltbelt buckled. Then cycle your key. Also another silly question, did your 99 come with factory power doorlocks?
